HIST231 - RACE &ETHNICITY IN SPORT

Description:

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Over the last one hundred years, sport has played an important role in
the African American experience. Yet the ongoing struggles faced by black athletes and
entrepreneurs provide a unique window into several major themes in modern African American
history. Through readings, videos, and discussion, we will consider the social, cultural, and
political relevance of black participation in sport and its larger connection to the evolution of race
relations in America. Requirements will include active participation in the seminar, a short
response paper, and a longer research paper.
